A lovely place to stay - great for a group of friends. There was a lot of space, plenty of beds, a hot tub and such a great beach to spend time rock picking and hanging out. Definitely be ready for a leg work out with all the stairs, but so worth it!

This property checked all the boxes for us. Wonderful beach, fabulous cliff top views of lake Michigan, fire pit and lovely hot tub were bonuses. Plenty of room for a large family to be together yet still have some personal space. Nicely equipped kitchen - we love to cook and share meals!

Weekend Getaway!

This was the perfect spot for a lowkey weekend. Located on a quiet road, but not too far from town. The house is spacious and comfortable and the views from the hot tub were breathtaking. The hosts were wonderful and great communicators. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful views for cozy company

I do a yearly girl's trip and this location was perfect. It kept us warm and comfortable. The kitchen has most things you could need, pots, pans, spices, utensils, which is always a plus. The beds were all comfortable enough and have a good amount of privacy. The hot tub was perfect and the views were great. Would stay again!

Loved the Red Cottage

This is a lovely location. The cottage was spotless, well-appointed and vacationer friendly. Plenty of hooks, plugs and towels. Yes, the climb down to the beach is a challenge, but we all managed. There are also beautiful public beaches nearby. Sitting on the patio, in the sunroom or the living room, the views are spectacular. The fire pit area is a bonus, with wood and kindling ready to go. My whole family (ages 9 through 77) had a great time.

Beautiful Bluff View

The view of Lake Michigan from the property was absolutely beautiful. It does sit high on a bluff with many steps down to the beach but well worth the trek down. Beautiful stones and driftwood. Not much of a swimming beach. The firepit area was a fantastic place to watch the sunsets and we had the opportunity to watch the Northern Lights overMiMichigan.MichiganMichigan. .tand ha

Book Nerds Girls Weekend!

This place was fabulous for our group of 6! The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The hot tub was a hit with several of us. We did have a snafu with the dishwasher, it decided to not want to be unlocked. I messaged Tammy , she and Mike happened to be down the street checking on another rental. This was Friday night at 9:30, mind you & they came right away! They were so kind and helpful! The dishwasher ended up needing to be replaced, but it was no big deal for us. Thank you again Tammy & Mike for being there & being so kind & helpful. We recommend this place for groups & families! Hope we can return! place for

Beautiful view

The view from this cottage is breathtaking with awesome sunsets every night. The stairs to beach are steep, but sturdy and everyone in our group went up and down. We especially enjoyed the sunroom and fire-pit. One complaint is that I reached out with questions once before my stay and once during and I never heard back form the host. An additional suggestion would be to add more decent sized coffee mugs and some larger pots, pans and serving bowls to accommodate group meals.

Gorgeous quiet spot for family time

This spot was absolutely gorgeous and everything was exactly as listed, no suprises whatsoever other than it was even prettier in person. The views are incredible, the spot is cozy and quiet, the house is well-stocked for all of your needs while there. We prefer to keep contact with the property manager minimum, we're pretty private, and that was not an issue at all here - we actually didn't get any response to our detailed checkout text to them, which we would have liked, but there were no issues. We were there during peak leaf season and the neighborhood was just gorgeous and we enjoyed the nearby hiking trails just a couple minutes down the street. If you're looking for a quiet, cozy, getaway, this is the spot - we recommend it! Oh, and it was very clean and smelled great, no mustiness, etc, which are two things that matter a great deal to me.

So Disappointing!!!

Have been interested in staying here for over a year due to the location and hot tub!! Told the host this upon booking, specifically mentioning the hot tub. Get there, take cover off hot tub, and it's half full! Door from sunroom to hot tub frozen shut. We tried it, water was hot but water level too low to stay in it comfortably in such cold weather. Called the host, then texted two hours later. Host finally texted back but did not receive it until the next morning. Host said to fill it with the hose (it was frozen) and asked for pictures and for me to treat the hot tub. Ok...but please fix it before we get back from skiing this afternoon. Host advised he would reach out to his "guy" and it "should be ready by this evening." I asked for updates, none were provided. Texted on our way home and asked if all was well. No response. Got back, nobody had been on site and situation was the same. Called host, no answer. Texted host, no response for over an hour. Finally got a response saying he couldn't get ahold of anyone to come out. This is when you're telling me? I shared my disappointment (pleasantly, can prove this). He offered a late check out and to get the bill for our meal on the way out of town. We did neither. Realized later we left our suits and towel in the dryer. I reached out to him to have him ship them to us. He said he would. Followed up several times...no tracking, no follow up, no suits two weeks later. So frustrating!!

The hosts were responsive, friendly, and very accommodating! The house itself is beautiful. We went for a winter girl’s trip and it was so perfect and cozy. We loved the hot tub and the fireplace, and going down to the water with all the ice was very cool. We are already talking about returning next year!
